Abu Dhabi Department of Health to Predict Diseases with AI

The Abu Dhabi Department of Health has added a patient risk profile to predict future diseases  as a new feature in the Malaffi health information platform.

The new feature will predict the level of risk for certain chronic diseases or acute events such as diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, stroke and others. Using this data, doctors will be able to make informed decisions and prevent the development of possible diseases.

Dr Bakr Saadoon Ismail, Informatics Physician, Health Operations Management, Ambulatory Healthcare Services at Abu Dhabi Health Services (SEHA); Member of the Clinical Advisory Committee of Malaffi, said:

This predictive tool will help us efficiently evaluate the risks for patients individually and help inform decisions regarding treatment, medication and advice specific to their profile.

Malaffi covers almost the entire Abu Dhabi healthcare sector, including all hospitals and 2,000 public and private healthcare facilities.
